Welcome to our class website!

I hope you will find it helpful. Please take time to explore the links above. The Classroom News and Calendar links are updated weekly to include current classroom events and homework. Also, check out the Student Showcase to see projects the children are working on. In my Links, I have included websites which I think are useful and fun. Our Blog is for our classroom community to continue to build relationships and dig deeper in our thinking. The Book List are recommended books for fifth graders. I will include books we are currently reading in class.

This year at Sheiko we are learning about the importance of "Building Leaders and Learners." This helps us as we begin goal setting throughout this year to become independent learners. We are participating in AVID which encourages us to Advance via Individual Determination. In other words...take responsibility for our own learning. You can learn about AVID on the Classroom News page.
